Transparent LCD (T-LCD) Animations.

Transparent LCD (T-LCD) screens are glass displays whose backing and light source have been removed. Instead of generating light, they require an external light source such as the sun to see the displayed images. Obscura creates cutting-edge media specifically for T-LCD screens, where the world beyond shines through and intermingles with the media to create dynamic multi-level animations, akin to digital stained glass.

Canada / Humber College mixes media for donor recognition wall.



Environmental graphic design (EGD) firm Entro recently developed and implemented a new donor recognition program for Toronto’s Humber College, combining static and interactive digital signage.

The college designated space for the program in the main corridor that links its historic buildings to the new Humber Learning Resource Commons (HLRC) at the north campus in Etobicoke. Entro designed a series of hexagon-shaped tiles that identify donation levels with different materials.



The design concept takes inspiration from the Humber River. As light shines on the tiles, they appear to shimmer like the surface of water.

To the left of these tiles, meanwhile, touch screens programmed by Lusens provide more in-depth information and can live-stream alumni events.

LED Shelf-Edge Displays In Grocery Dairy Fridges.



So it’s interesting to see this install – no word on whether this is a rollout or a one-shop demo – of a set of chiller fridges in a store equipped with LED shelf signs, marketing Arizona Dairy Farmers product. The displays are, I’m told, hooked to some sort of proximity sensor to trigger content when a shopper comes near. The displays and the system in behind them are from a company called Adroit Worldwide Media, based south of LA.

Ranch Market and Arizona Dairy Farmers utilizing AWM's Smart Shelf. Demonstrating smooth proximity triggering.

Samsung will launch a 150-inch Micro-LED TV at CES 2018

According to reports from Korea, Samsung is developing large-area micro-LED TVs, and the company is set to reveal its first Micro-LED TV as soon as CES 2018 (January 2018).

Samsung's first TV, according to the report, will be a huge 150-inch set, which will be marketed for home use. Samsung is looking for a new premium TV technology as Samsung's QLED TVs failed to keep up with LGD's OLED TVs, and has seen its premium TV market share fall from 57% in 2015 to 20% in 2016 (LG, meanwhile, managed to increase its market share from 17.5% in 2015 to 43% in 2016).



Beta tests dual-screen POS station.



A POS system it's testing for NCR Corp. — the Silver Quantum POS.

Thanks to its ordering efficiency, the POS station — which features an integrated payment device with mobile wallet acceptance, customer display, loyalty scanner and a Samsung Galaxy table

How it works

The system has two touchscreens; one faces customers and allows them to review their orders after verbally giving them to employees, and the other is for staff. A 10.1-inch Android Samsung Galaxy tablet, pre-loaded with the NCR Silver Android point-of-sale app, serves as the employee interface. It includes inventory management, marketing support and sales reporting, Gould said. An embedded mobile card reader enables the Quantum to accept a variety of payment methods, including magstripe, EMV chip and NFC/contactless transactions such as Samsung Pay. After the customer uses their screen to check the order and authorize payment, the Quantum prints the order, and the attendant takes the order to the kitchen. Once a display screen is installed in the kitchen, however, the orders will automatically appear on that screen.
